Good Morning!
I'm fixing my salads for lunch and dinner today quite early because I have to go directly to class from school. Here is what I will be eating later on. The pumpkin seeds are the most important ingredient in my salad today. They are nutrition powerhouses! There are too many benefits to list here because I have to make kid's lunches too.
The natives were the first ones to know the benefits (and if you know me, you know I love trying to eat what the natives eat.) Eaten raw, they have 12 g of protein!!! I am getting more protein by sprinkling pumpkin seeds on my salads throughout the day than eating a steak. I found out from healthlearning.org that pumpkin seeds have been used by other cultures to cure depression, kidney, bladder, and parasite problems. Pumpkin seed oil is one of the only known cures for a very rare parasite in China. I LOVE raw pumpkin seeds.
1 c of spring mix (Earthfarm Organic from Costco)
1/2 c of alfalfa sprouts
(You want to eat more sprouts! They are only 8 calories per serving but filled with the fiber you need. )
2 big basil leaves off of a basil plant that you should grow in your kitchen
1/4 cup of RAW pumpkin seeds (not roasted)
1/4 cup of RAW sunflower seeds
2 tbsp of SPROUTED wheat berries (Here is a picture of some that I have sprouting right now. More on sprouting later and why you need to do it.)
I'm choosing vidalia onion dressing today
